Metal test could help diagnose breast cancer early

It may be possible to develop a simple blood test that, by detecting changes in the zinc in our bodies, could help to diagnose breast cancer early, scientists say. In a world-first, the researchers were able to show that changes in the isotopic composition of zinc, which can be detected in a person's breast tissue, could make it possible to identify a 'biomarker' (a measurable indicator) of early breast cancer.

Very cool. Breast cancer runs high in my family. My sister and mom are both survivors. Early detection is key. Anything that lends itself to early detection is a step in the right direction. Good to hear this.
